Leova Basketball Court makes National News

Thank you to an incredible network of donors from the U.S. and an active local community, the city of Leova was able to raise enough funds to refurbish the local basketball court behind the Russian school. The project took six months to complete and was accomplished primarily through crowdfunding donations on Indiegogo from personal contacts.

An amazing reporter at Publika TV caught wind of the project online last week and granted an interview with the school director and me to understand more clearly how the renewed basketball court came to be.

Hopefully you can catch the spirit through visuals. Thank you again to all of our generous donors!
